To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BELA KORMENDY, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State.- ofOhio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Seats; and Ihereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such 'as will enable others skilled in the art towhich it pertains to make and use the same. 7

This invention relates to improvements in seats, and more especially toa, seat having a seat-section and a back-secti0n which comprises twoupright wooden side posts arranged at the rear edge and at opposite sideedges respectively of the seat-section, and the primary object of thisinvention is to attach the sideposts to the seat-section not only at therear edge ofthe seat-section but at the side edges of the seat-sectionat points spaced forwardly from the rear edge of the seat-sectionwithout requiring the employment of separate pieces in attaching saidposts to the seat-section at said points.

Another object of this invention is to have the connections betweenseat-section and said posts strong, durable, inexpensive and attractive.v

With these objects in view, this'invention consists in certaineculiaritiesof construction, and combinations and arrangement of parts,hereinafter described, pointed out in the claims, and illustrated in.the accompanying drawings.

In said drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a seat embodying myinvention. Fig. 2 is arear view of the seat. Fig. 3 is an end'view ofthe seat. w

Referring to said drawings, A indicates the-seat-section of my improvedseat, and B, the back-section of the seat. The backsection 13 comprisestwo wooden side posts 6 arranged at the rear edge and at opposite sideedges respectively of the seat-section. Each post 6 consists of a singleupright piece of wood having the grain .5 thereof running up and'down orendwise of the post. Each post I) has its lower end-portion showndivided at a point centrally between the sides of the post into twomembers 6 and 7 arranged side by side and forming the inner side andouter side respectively of said divided end-portion of said post. Thesaid i divided portion "of cachspost extends above 1 edge end-portionsof the posts 6.

member 7 of the bifurcated end-portion of the seat-section A, and theinner member 6 of said divided portion overlaps and is suitably attachedto the seat-section at the rear of the seat-section. The outer member 7of said divided end-portion of each post?) is bent and projects to and.alongside of of the seat-section to the seat-section and at a point orfrom the rear the adjacent side edge and is suitably attached at saidside edge, as at'8, points spaced forwardly edge of the seat-section.

I would have it understood that my in vention comprises broadl aback-section in Which each side post 6 portion bifurcated and has onemember of said bifurcated end-portion attached to the seat-section atthe rear edge of the seatsection and has the other member of saidbifurcated end-portion bent and projecting forwardly and attached to theseat-section forwardly of the rear edge of the seatsection.

The division of the lower end-portion of each post 6 into two members isefiected in any approved manner and, of course, the inner member 6 ofsaid end-portion of'the post is originally as long as the outer memberof the said end-portion of the post and shortened to prevent said innerend-member from. depending in an unsightly manner below theseat-section. In dotted lines, at lO, Fig. 2, are shown the portionssevered from the inner end members of the bifurcated Theouter each post6 to readily place it in the forwardly projecting position illustratedis steamed and while steamed pressed into said position. The outermember 7 of the bifurcated portion of each post 6 forms a for wardlyprojecting arm' which possesses greater strength and durability and ismore attractive and less expensive than a separate piece attached bysecuring devices to the post as well as to the seat-section- \Vhat Iclaim is In a seat, aseat-section and a back-section which comprises twoupright side posts arranged at the rear edge and at opposite side edgesrespectively of the seat-section, each post comprising an upright pieceof wood having the grain thereof running endwise of the post, said piecehaving its lower endportion divided centrally between the sides of thepost into-two members forming the forwardly and extends as its lowerendinner side and outer side respectively of said divided portion ofsaid post, said divided portion of said post extending above theseat-section, the inner member of said divided portion of said postoverlapping and being attached to the seat-section at the rear edge ofthe seat-section, and the outer member of said divided portion of saidpost being bent forwardly to and alongside of 10 the adjacent side edgeof the seat-section l going specification, in the presence of two 15witnesses.
